2022 Fantasy Outlook
The nightmare continued for Okudah in 2022 thanks to a torn Achilles suffered in Week 1. However, there remains hope that the No. 3 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft will become an effective piece in Detroit's new 4-3 defense thanks to a healthy offseason. While he probably won't be pushing Amani Oruwariye for No. 1 corner status anytime soon, Okudah seems on track for a key role in the Lions' secondary entering the upcoming campaign.

Totals 73 tackles
Okudah (elbow) tallied 73 tackles, seven pass breakups, one interception, one defensive touchdown and one forced fumble over 15 games in 2022.
ANALYSIS
After looking like a bust over the first two seasons of his career, Okudah looked like a new player during the first half of the season under former defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant. However, even though Detroit was more successful as a team after Pleasant's midseason dismissal, Okudah's play deteriorated down the stretch, and the former No. 2 overall pick was ultimately the worst-graded cornerback in coverage over the final five weeks of the season, per Pro Football Focus. With that said, an elbow injury seemingly impacted Okudah's play during this period, and the Detroit coaching staff doesn't seem to have lost confidence in Okudah entering 2023. While the Lions will surely add reinforcements to the cornerback position with Amani Oruwariye and Mike Hughes set to hit the open market, Okudah seems like a good bet to open next season in the starting lineup opposite Jerry Jacobs.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
One of the biggest storylines for the Lions in 2020 was the play of Okudah, who Pro Football Focus graded as one of the NFL's worst cornerbacks. However, the third overall pick in last year's draft may not have been set up to succeed due to lack of a traditional first offseason and an incompetent coaching staff. There also wasn't a preseason to acclimate to the pros, and a hamstring injury forced Okudah to sit out Week 1. If that wasn't enough, he allegedly played through a groin issue he suffered at Ohio State that prompted him to have season-ending surgery in December. Fortunately, reports suggest he'll be healthy for training camp. Whether that's enough to get Okudah on track to fulfill his draft standing remains to be seen, but he did average more than five tackles per game as a rookie.
